Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you form a smooth and cohesive dough. Do not overmix.
Fill a cookie press with the chocolate dough, choosing your desired disk shape for the cookies.
Press the cookies directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa!
